Doubt it. I don't think "minorities" are the thin-skinned shallow idiots you think them to be. n/t Gore1FL Nov 2015 #163
You are really confused by this conversation aren't you? Most people when clearly over their Number23 Nov 2015 #214

i've noticed this re-packaged DU:Bernie narrative ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #188
Not my narrative. Cha said that the entire comunity was swayed by mean people Gore1FL Nov 2015 #192

Don't put words in my mouth. I think African Americans are as dedicated and passionate.. Cha Nov 2015 #189
I thought you implied that the community was swayed by harsh wordsa and not facts. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #191

The sad irony is I tried to warn them from day one and got shouted down... Blue_Tires Nov 2015 #121
Bravenak did the same. And all she got for her efforts was the Wrath of Simpletons Number23 Nov 2015 #122
You sure did tell me! bravenak Nov 2015 #128
And I also told you about some of those folks you were running around with last year too Number23 Nov 2015 #133
Hee hee!!! bravenak Nov 2015 #134
All she has to do is STOP speaking her truth and (a segment of) DU will leave her alone ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #6
Yeah, but I want her here AND I want her speaking truth even when I disagree. She's one person... marble falls Nov 2015 #7
Absolutely. I'm so sick of this garbage. SusanCalvin Nov 2015 #149

I'm doing almost a jury a day and at least 80% seem personal. I've never been on a Bravenak jury.... marble falls Nov 2015 #16
I'm also on a jury nearly every day (very unusual). betsuni Nov 2015 #19
Yes, and many also target Bernie supporters for utterly trivial reasons. Alerting is being used peacebird Nov 2015 #72

I keep hearing the "both sides do it" argument but Hillary supporters are not hunting the AA forum Number23 Nov 2015 #123
